How do I pass in CCI(14) to a method

[DaFish]

Hi, I want to write a method that will take an indicator parameter and then check swings on it. I want to pass various indicators to this function... I don't know how to do that.

Here is what I want to do from an indicator or strategy:

CCI(14) is the indicator I want to pass to the method

then call

MFSwing (CCI(14))
or
MFSwing (ROC(14))

publicbool MFSwing ("somehow pass in CCI(14)")
{
bool retval = false;
// Swing
if (Swing("somehow use CCI(14) here ",1).SwingLowBar(1, 1, 4))
{
retval=true;

}


return (retval);
}

I don't know how or if I can do that.

Hello,

Thanks for the note.

You would use this syntax:

private void Method(IDataSeries dataSeries)
{
 
 }

Hi Brett, thanks for responding so quickly. I am not sure if I understand. I don't want to pass in the VALUE of the CCI(14), I want to pass in to the method to USE the indicator CCI(14) in that method.

MFSwing (CCI(14)) - not the value, but tell the method to start using the indicator passed in.
or
MFSwing (ROC(14))

publicbool MFSwing ("passed in indicator and parameter - IE: CCI(14)")
{
private int indicatorvalue;
indicatorvalue = "passed in indicator and parameter - IE: CCI(14)"

I want this to look like:
indicatorvalue = CCI(14);
or
indicatorvalue = ROC(14);

this is so I can reuse all the code for doing some custom swing stuff and keep it all together in 1 method and just pass in different indicators

}

We are on the same page as you. I think the following code example will better illustrate the concept.
